Just Jammin' on This!

I did another cream stripe (#2201) and then started the blue section of the blanket with a stripe of Chambray (#2247).

Moment of truth is coming up: I'll be adding another stripe, a dark blue, and then we'll see if it's long enough or if I need to make another large order of yarn. I'm pretty sure it will be long enough, though - it's getting a little heavy and hard to maneuver, especially when I switch needles. But it's so nice. We've got the AC blasting because it's so hot and humid, so this blanket on my lap keeps me from getting too cold!

Stitching Friends

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
